The Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the

Page 19 of 26 Pages

Internal Revenue Code and is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Plan is administered by four trustees: B. Francis Saul II, Alexander R.M. Boyle, Stephen R. Halpin, Jr. and Thomas H. McCormick. Because B. Francis Saul II shares the power to vote and to dispose of the shares of Common Stock acquired by the Plan, the Plan’s holding of such shares is being reported in this Schedule 13D. B. Francis Saul II disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the Plan that exceed his pecuniary interest in the Plan.

Beginning in 1999, pursuant to a Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, 100 shares of Common Stock were awarded annually as additional compensation to each person serving on the Board of Directors of Saul Centers as of the record date for the annual meeting of stockholders. In April 2004, the shareholders of Saul Centers approved the adoption of the 2004 Stock Plan and, as a result, the Board of Directors of Saul Centers terminated the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors. In its place, pursuant to the 2004 Stock Plan, in 2004 and each following year the Board of Directors approved an annual award of 200 shares of Common Stock to each person serving on the Board of Directors of Saul Centers as of the record date for the annual meeting of stockholders. B. Francis Saul II has elected to participate in the DRIP with respect to these shares. In addition, under the 2004 Stock Plan, Mr. Saul receives an annual grant of an option to purchase 2,500 shares. Options to purchase 7,500 shares are exercisable within 60 days of this Amendment. The total amount reinvested and the number of shares acquired by B. Francis Saul II is as follows:

B. Francis Saul II


Date of DRIP Reinvestment	Amount reinvested		Price per share		Number of shares purchased
January 31, 2007	$	563.50	$	52.244	10.786

In addition, Mrs. Patricia E. Saul, the wife of B. Francis Saul II, has participated in the DRIP. The additional shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the DRIP to Mrs. Patricia E. Saul are being reported in this Schedule 13D because B. Francis Saul II, by reason of his possible influence over his wife, has or might be deemed to have sole or shared voting and dispositive power over such shares. Mr. Saul disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held by Mrs. Patricia E. Saul.

The amounts reinvested and the number of shares issued pursuant to the DRIP are listed below:

Patricia E. Saul (Mrs.)


Date of DRIP Reinvestment	Amount reinvested		Price per share		Number of shares purchased

Page 21 of 26 Pages

(the “Partnership”), which units, in general, are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. However, under the terms of the limited partnership agreement of the Partnership, at the current time, these 5,416,415 units may not be converted into shares of Common Stock because such conversion would cause the reporting persons and other affiliates of Mr. Saul to beneficially own collectively greater than 24.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. b. The Saul Entities have the sole power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by each.

The information required by Item 2 with respect to the other directors, trustees and general partners of the Saul Entities is set forth in Item 2 above. The information required by Item 2 with respect to the other Plan trustees is set forth in the following table:

B. Francis Saul II, as sole trustee of the Sharon Elizabeth Saul Trust, the Elizabeth Willoughby Saul Trust, the Andrew M. Saul Trust, and the Patricia English Saul Trust (collectively, the “Trusts”), has the sole power to vote and the sole power to direct the disposition of 23,014 shares of Common Stock held by these Trusts. Because of his possible influence over the trustees and beneficiaries of the trusts named below and over his wife, Mrs. Patricia E. Saul, Mr. Saul might be deemed to have shared voting or dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock owned by such trusts and by Mrs. Saul as indicated by the following table:

Because Mr. Saul is not the beneficial owner of the shares held by the trusts listed above, these shares are not included in Mr. Saul’s holdings in Item 5(a) above.
